Can't theme some controls in new VSB

[Mark Fassett]

I got the latest build  (dated 3/9) and while the new VSB is great, there are controls that are not listed as available for creating a theme. RadToolStrip, RadStatusStrip, RadPanel, and on and on and on. When can we expect all of the controls to be listed, or am I doing something wrong and there's already a way to get them listed and I'm missing it?

Hi Mark Fassett,

Thank you for writing. You are not doing anything wrong, some controls are missing, we did not add them because there was not enough time. We decided that it was more important for the VSB to be very stable instead of provide all features we planned. The missing controls will be added for the Service Pack in Q1 2010 release. The Service Pack will provide, along with the missing controls, Undo/Redo support for editing actions. Thank you for understanding.

When will these be available?  I do not see RadToolStrip, etc. in the SP2 release (version 2010.1.10.504)

Hi Adam,

Thanks for writing back.

The RadToolStrip is currently the only RadControl which is not available in the Visual Style Builder. We decided so because we plan to revisit and rewrite this control to address many of the issues it now has and also to adapt it to the improvements in our framework we have been working on (theming included).

Thanks for the understanding.

Will be RadToolStrip in VSB in Q3 release?

Hi beavisCZ,

Thank you for writing.

We are currently developing a new control that will substitute RadToolStrip - RadCommandBar. The new control will provide the extensibility options that are currently lacking, and will offer much better design-time support and VSB support.

For additional information, please refer to the WinForms roadmap.

I hope this helps.
